Hi I wish I had read all of this before getting my iphone. I have had problems with signal from day one on vodafone but my husband who has an old nokia phone on the same network always has excellent signal when the phones are side by side. I am on my second iphone 3gs and this one is no better. It is definately a fault with the phone not the network!

I have been having the same problem. I have consulted both Apple and o2 and was told different things. Apple blames the network and o2 blames the phone.I really regret getting this phone, whats the point of having it if it doesnt work. I have two kids, I worry that if something happens, people will not be able to reach me, so tomorrow I’m purchasing a free handset!!!!

I just got my new 3GS from O2 in UK. I get one or two pips. My wife is on same network and uses Nokia. She gets 5 pips reception. Very upset

Yep, exact same problem. My phone works “ok” my wife’s phone can be right next to mine and get no service. AT&T is a piece of garbage. They told me we get “moderate coverage” but that means we have to be in a field, and can not be in a car or building…

They actually told me we needed to be in a field…

Can’t wait for Verizon to get the iPhone, then goodbye crap AT&T
